For anyone who has an /efs backup and wants to restore their IMEI, easiest way I found was through an app called Nitrality. Download from Play, copy your efs backup into sdcard/insanity/backup/efs. Then restore with nitrality and reboot your phone.

Took me less than two minutes. You can probably do it manually through Root Explorer but I found this pretty painless.
[Captivate Android Development] ak789:
Were you able to get the camera/youtube FC issues fixed after re-flashing?
[Captivate Android Development] silvertag:
Yes the linked flashable kernel solved the issue. Others also report reflashing the original RC5 recovery/kernel package again over the first install does also correct the problem.
[Captivate Android Development] ak789:
Sweet same thing worked for also flashed the devil kernel again and it did the trick...have you explored the Devil section of kernel where you can change options over performance or battery life?
[Captivate Android Development] silvertag:
I did but i have yet to see any real life improvement with the option on.
[Captivate Android Development] cvcduty:
Is this with a stock install? I have not seen any performance increase with the battery life so far. I am on my second day also. No settings were manipulated so far.
[Captivate Android Development] cliftomr1082:
DemonWav; Have you come up with any idea why some of us using I897 install, is having problems getting it to install. Sure like to try rom.
[Captivate Android Development] soumian:
I did notice the battery life improvement but still i think is too soon to tell. Also i was using another kernel with the previous release so i can't really compare things for now.
[Captivate Android Development] ak789:
My captivate is i897 so guess i will be always using that for my phone
[Captivate Android Development] jfalgout2003:
No, there is no error message. When I tried it the first time, I was on the Semaphore kernel. After try it a couple times, I flashed RC4 thinking the recovery was my problem. Even after this, the installation still fails.
[Captivate Android Development] soumian:
Hey i noticed that whn i access the Gallery settings it just shows a blank page. It's the first time i check that so it not something that just happened now. Also the Photo Sync between Picasa or G+ (i don't even know which one to refer to anymore) is gone from the Gallery, it's only showing the photos i have on the phone and not the ones online.

Anyone having the same issues or is it just me?
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
can confirm settings in gallery are blank but I have photo sync between Picasa and G+
[Captivate Android Development] Gordonson:
I too am stuck in a bootloop. I came from RC 4.2, so I just wiped my cache and davik cache.

My Aroma Installer thing came up just fine, but as someone else mentioned it just said "Writing boot image", at which point the Next button was highlighted.

I tapped it and it said that the installation is finished. I then flashed Devil's Kernel to avoid the video playback issue and rebooted. Boot looped. I then repeatedly battery pulled, reflashed rom, and reflashed kernel. No luck.

I thought maybe my download of the rom was corrupt because on the first install the "Choose your kernel" screen came up and there were no actual options in the box, so I downloaded it on my laptop and tried moving it over. Still bootlooped. I don't even have my download of RC 4.2 still, so I have to deal with WeUI for now until the issue is fixed :(
[Captivate Android Development] soumian:
I know this could be a stupid question but did you try flash then wipe and then re-flash??

EDIT: wipe = full wipe and not just cache/dalvik
[Captivate Android Development] ak789:
I enabled it and does not see much difference
[Captivate Android Development] Gordonson:
I don't consider that a stupid question at all bro.

I truthfully hadn't given it a full wipe because I couldn't remember whether or not that erased the contents of my internal SD, which I didn't have backed up to anywhere. I just figured that coming from 4.2 I'd be alright not giving it a full wipe.

I'll do that this afternoon and see if I have any better luck.
[Captivate Android Development] StunGod:
I've got the same issue. I checked the photos sync option in Accounts & Sync settings, but that didn't do anything. I also cleared the data from the app settings. I get the albums/photos via G+, but the gallery only has local photos now. And the Gallery settings are blank.

I know that Gallery has been a PITA for ROMs in the past - I've had all sorts of weirdness with it over the time I've been flashing ROMs. ZI guess I can use G+ for online pics and Gallery for local ones, but I like using the one app for everything.

I know...waah waah. This is truly the worst thing I can find with this killer ROM. It just simply kicks ass, and I can put on my big boy pants and live with Gallery the way it is.
[Captivate Android Development] cvcduty:
Same here... Gallery is not syncing. I pulled the gallery apk from RC4.2 and replaced the one from RC5 and all is working fine now. All my albums are showing as they did prior to the rom update.
[Captivate Android Development] cliftomr1082:
I know I've done a full wipe four times, gone back to stock also, and still won't load rom. I've even downloaded file again, and still just stays at installing. Demon says he looking into it. I sure would like to try it too.
[Captivate Android Development] alexvtr:
Glad to read this... however, I haven't kept RC4.2... Where can I download it from? Or can you upload the apk somewhere?

Select the app, clear data.This will also clear the app of all your settings.
[Captivate Android Development] thresherhorn:
Well I would advise trying what the post above me said. That may very well fix the issue.

Otherwise what I did was download scriptmanager (I can't remember other file manager's that can browse as root), far left click to get the menu list, click more, advanced options, config -- make sure to check browse as root.

Browse up to main folder, go to data/app and delete tibu .odex's

I wonder if I'm the only one with this TV out issue: when I turn it on (in Galaxy S Settings) I instantly see on my TV the program's screen. However, it doesn't move, even if I move it around or switch to another program. It's like it's just displaying a screenshot.

I'm running rc5 with 0.61 devil kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] thresherhorn:
dunno, never use tv out.

i can however confirm that updating google earth on the market fixes the insta FC issue
[Captivate Android Development] Watevah:
Hi, is there a way to fix slow usb transfer speed (<2MB/s) in RC5?
[Captivate Android Development] Wdustin1:
Is the virtual buttons an option on this rom? Let me know so I can make the buttons if need be :D
[Captivate Android Development] ak789:
I am seeing two issues with the latest RC5 + devil kernel.

1) I still get the memory low message for few apps (eg. poker app)

2) I am seeing that Screen is taking max battery usage eg - 40%, it was not like this in the previous ROM version.

Anyone else seeing this behavior?
[Captivate Android Development] Knight613:
1) Clear data on the browser/gmail and some other apps and it goes away.

2) The screen should take up most of the battery usage. It was probably really low before because ICS version 4.0.3 (which the previous ROM was running on) had a bug where the Android OS would take up 30-40% all the time.

I think those should answer your questions. But someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
[Captivate Android Development] axeman007:
Missing Trebuchet

Upgrade to 4.0.4 a while ago from 4.0.3. Everything is working fine . But I do miss trebuchet, which could be used to customize our cappys a lot :(

Noticed one more issue : The download speed using google play store is very slow.
[Captivate Android Development] soumian:
Sorry but i never used TV out too.

For the screen issue as Knight613 said and for my experience it's the thing that always takes more battery %. The usual solution would be lowering the brightness.

About the Google Play download speeds it might just be your problem as i haven't noticed any slow speeds over here and i tested it downloading large files.
[Captivate Android Development] ak789:
I am doing the clear data cache thing from quite some time and there was datafix also released for folks who were totally blocked by it in older ROMs. Anyways there may be small price to pay to use custom ROMs and cappy has less memory then new sammy phones. I just wish there was some robust solution for this...always thanks the dev who gave this awesome rom.

Android usage bug was in actual google code so there wasn't much you could do with 4.0.2 but 4.0.3 was gr8 improvement
[Captivate Android Development] rjc127:
Running the same configuration (RC5 and Devil 0.61) and double checking the output format (NTSC, PAL) can confirm when you enable TV out it results in what looks like a static screenshot of the Galaxy S settings. It does not update when you move off the screen or change programs. Experiencing the same TV out issue.
[Captivate Android Development] rjc127:
Update: Tried TV out using Nyx RC5 and several kernels (Devil 3 0.65, Icy Glitch B6) on the Captivate- Same result -

static screenshot of the Galaxy S settings. It does not update when you move off the screen or change programs.
[Captivate Android Development] LongLiveCappy92:
First of all, high praise to everyone involved in the creation of this masterpiece. I loved the install walkthrough and all that jazz. My only question/concern is the gallery app. Is it not included in the install? I tried to open it and it said "App isn't installed." Does anyone know where I can find this to install it? I use it quite frequently.

Edit: My launcher icon didn't work, but it works under my apps
[Captivate Android Development] Allockse:
Exceptional

I normally do more lurking than posting, as I find 99% of my questions have been asked and answered. However I just wanted to chime in and let you guys know just how bad you've spoiled me with this incredibly clean ROM setup. I knew the ROM itself was going to be great, I've come to expect no less, but you sold me the moment I loaded the zip from CWM.

Excellent work.
[Captivate Android Development] Hunter_x2:
Okay, so I fixed the hardware acceleration issue by flashing Devil 0.61, but then another came: the infamous "ghostly flash after turning off screen" has returned! Although the flashes were less recognizable, it still became a bug in my eyes.

So, anyone suffering the same as me?
[Captivate Android Development] silvertag:
Same here but i never noticed it until now. Still a bug but nothing that bothers me.
[Captivate Android Development] alexvtr:
I'm going abroad soon and need the TV-Out feature.

Someone can recommend a decent ROM with working TV-Out? (besides stock...)

I don't remember from all the ROMs I flashed which ones worked...

BTW, I don't care if its Gingerbread or ICS...
[Captivate Android Development] browncarpet:
Hello all. Coming from DarkyRom10.4, everything seems to install fine, but when rebooting system I get taken back to CWM (Devil) or Team Win Recovery. I've done factory, system, dalvik, cache wipes. Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] tazzydemon:
Success

My first RC5 intsall over 4.2 failed and wiped my efs plus the bootloop. The efs reappeared when I Hiemdall'd GB back on the phone. I eventually did it again and this time the RC5 install took much longer with a more satisfactory progress bar- perhaps it failed on the efs part before.

The result? Much smoother performance. I just wish there was a more Samsung like theme available with Samsung icons instead if the crummy AOSP ones. Are there any?

---------- Post added at 10:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 PM ----------

One usually has to reinstall when that happens.
[Captivate Android Development] browncarpet:
Thanks for reply. I've tried reinstalling about 5 times. The same result every time. Tried both kernels, tried different combos of clearing. But after every seeming successful attempt, I see the Team Nyx splash screen but then goes to Devil Recovery or TWRP
[Captivate Android Development] soumian:
Same over here but i really don't care too much.

It wasn't working either on 4.2? I'm suggesting this but i don't really know because i never used it before.

Have you tried flashing RC 4.2 and then flash RC5 ?

Don't know if this will help but when i came to this ROM (long time ago) i was also on Darky (i think it was 10.2) and had to go back to stock because i was having bootloop issues when flashing.
[Captivate Android Development] browncarpet:
I went ahead and went back to a stock ROM with Odin and then easily flash this ROM over it. Maybe there is a thing with Darky and this. Maybe good to know for those coming from Darky ROMs.

Thanks for the help!

swype beta wont install for me, im getting a parse error. anyone else have this problem?
[Captivate Android Development] cliftomr1082:
Are you saying you went to stock only and then flashed rom, reason asking I too can't flash this rom.
[Captivate Android Development] EthanMG:
well i flashed stock then flashed nyx then devil 0.67, and it still wont install swype beta downloaded from swype website. any suggestions? not a huge deal, besides that, this rom is perfect for me!
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
search here on xda there is a version of swype that works, my swype installed fine but it was backed up with tibu if I can find the original apk and it's ok I will post it later
[Captivate Android Development] EthanMG:
i found one, and it works fine. thanks! im just curious if anyone else was able to download it from swype and have it work
[Captivate Android Development] soumian:
I upgraded from 4.2 and didn't have any problems with swype either. Although when i first installed this rom I was having issues with the installer because of tibu data being restored but a fresh install solved it at that moment
[Captivate Android Development] thresherhorn:
Wanted to drop in and throw some bug reports I've found and see if anyone else has seen/fixed them.

1) Random inability for the Dailer (phone/whatever) to accept and make calls. The program behind it just auto force closes. Was on RC5 with .61 devil kernel. Only happened once so far. And it was fixed by rebooting the phone.

2) App "Lexicomp" force closes at random times when searching for medication names in the database. (This is an app used for pharmacy school which houses a huge database of drug related info). Just wondering if anyone else uses it/ has this problem. Pretty sure its just cuz its unsupported in the latest ICS version.
[Captivate Android Development] nemesishaven:
Custom sounds unset

I'm having issues with custom ringtones on RC5.

I've been setting my ringer, notification, and alarm sounds with a soundboard program. If I connect my phone to my computer (Mass Storage), once I unmount they all have been reset to default & the tones have disappeared from the list.

It's normal to me that they'd be set to default while connected (obviously), but in the past they'd always return to the way I'd set them after disconnecting.

Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] theaudioguy:
I haven't. I was able to a few days ago but recently I can download it but it gives me a parse error when I install it. I believe it's the fault of Swype and their servers or something.
[Captivate Android Development] EthanMG:
ya, i think you are right, mostly because the download of the swype keyboard from within the swype installer takes a millisecond before the error comes up, and its a large file
[Captivate Android Development] theaudioguy:
Yeah and it was working the day before this error. Even with the Swype Installer I downloaded that same day.
[Captivate Android Development] browncarpet:
Yes. I flashed one on the stock ROMs and kernels that included CWM. I picked one of the later ROMs listed in the top sticky of this forum. The downloads include Odin but the post has attached the executable Odin to install the kernel. After I was up on stock, the flash to this ROM was quick and painless.

"403 error"

OMG!

For those who are getting the "403 error"

Right click on your device and select "Save link As".

The .rar file should download with no problem.
[Captivate Android Development] EthanMG:
hmmmm... well, im not sure you are getting the right file, since its a zip, not a rar, but you are correct, in that clicking save link as should download the linked file, at least using chrome on windows 7. using chromium on linux though, doing so just downloaded a link disguised as a zip file for me. oh well!
[Captivate Android Development] D@rkDroid:
You are 'totally right... its a zip file instead of rar file, but my question... does it work?
[Captivate Android Development] EthanMG:
well, if you have the zip, you can always check it's contents to see if it is the right one. extract it and see what comes out. if nothing does, you only downloaded a link.

Dissapearing App drawer app icons

Not quite sure if this has been mentioned but I have a small bug to report.

My app icons are dissapearing from the app drawer.

Specifically, apps that have been moved to SD card cannot be seen.

If I have a shortcut of those same apps on one of the main windows, I can still run those apps even when they are no longer shown inside the drawer. If I move the app from SD card to internal, they showup. Move it to SD, they are initially there. Reboot, they are gone...

Anyone seen this or know how to fix it?

"403 error"

I know that it worked for me... I just flashed my cappy last night with them files.
[Captivate Android Development] jack_slapped:
So Im working on a friends new captivate running stock froyo 2.2. I followed the guide on "how to flash any rom from stock" and everything was going good. Got CWM installed got root...etc But when I try to install this phones first custom rom (team nyx ICS) It doesnt boot past the galaxy S screen. It was flashed via CWM. The only thing I can think of is maybe an outdated CWM version or maybe I dont have the right bootloaders (I flashed the gingerbread bootloaders via odin). It's been awhile since I have done any modding for this phone, and I made a backup so I can just go back to stock. But I would really like to get ICS on his phone because it's amazing. If anyone can offer any insight I would be very grateful .
[Captivate Android Development] soumian:
Sorry but i'm not seeing that on my phone but i do have them on the internal SD so if you reffered to the internal one then i don't know why is that happening to you.

Have you tried doing the full wipe before installing? I know it's should be wiped since you came from stock but you could try. When i went back to stock i also used GB bootloaders and it worked perfectly. You can also try to flash RC4.2 first and then RC5 or check other solutions on the previous pages as RC5 is fairly new and some people has already solved issues like this before.

Good luck with that!
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
You could try flashing stock KK4 than dialing *2767*3855# than flashing Nyx again (after getting CWR of course).

Has anyone experienced any issues with settings not sticking upon reboot? Namely sound settings like ring tone when set to a mp3 on the external SD?

Thinking about flashing this, but that's one of the issues I'm having on my current ICS ROM that I'm trying to get away from.
[Captivate Android Development] cliftomr1082:
Wish I could find link again for RC4.2
